Frequently Asked Questions About How Flytaro Works
If your SIM came with a data plan, redeem it first at flytaro.com/redeem using the code that comes with your card — it only takes a minute. If you have a Credit SIM, use your credit to top up a data plan. Either way, your plan activates the first time your SIM connects to a network in a covered country, so buying ahead of time doesn't waste any days.
You can redeem or top up anytime — days or weeks before your trip, or after you arrive. Your plan's validity period only starts counting when the SIM first connects to a network, so buying ahead of time doesn't waste any days.
Pick a plan that matches the country you're traveling to and your trip length. If you're visiting multiple countries in one region, a regional plan often covers them all on a single top-up. Each plan page lists the exact countries it covers.
If your phone supports dual SIM, you can keep your home eSIM active for calls and texts while using your Flytaro physical SIM for data. Most modern smartphones support this setup.
